The testimonies given to the world and to Israel: creation an
the law

We now come (it is just the same order of thought in John 17) to
the testimonies given in the world or to Israel. Psalm 19 gives us
two: the creation, particularly that in the heavens, which is above
man and has not been corrupted by him (this a testimony to God as
such). Then the law (v. 7). This is the law of Jehovah. Here, in
lowliness, the godly Jew takes two views of sin. First, he cannot
tell his: so much lies hidden from him. Here he desires to be
cleansed. Secondly, presumptuous sins: from these he desires to be
kept. Thus he would be kept from any falling away from Jehovah.
